Computer turns on, but no display on my monitors.

Conditions · Feb 22, 2014

Hello, my computer has been acting up lately. Whenever I restart it or turn it off and try to turn it back on, the computer will sometimes turn on, turn off quickly and turn back on. Or it will just turn on, but it never will display on my monitors. I have no idea what's causing this issue, but to fix it I open my computer case and fiddle with the cables, take out ram and put it back in, and it will eventually display on my monitors. Have an I7-3770k, GTX 660ti, and a ASUS Sabertooth Z77. Any ideas on why this is happening would be amazing, its a pain having to open my computer case every time I want to turn on my computer. Thanks!

Still need help.

What kind of power supply do you have?

If you can list your ENTIRE system specs EXACTLY, as it doesn't sound like this should be happening.

How many monitors do you have? are they monitors or TVs? have you tried using just one monitor?

James Mason :

Using this as my power supply, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139010.

I recently installed a new cpu cooler http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608018 and I had to move the ram over to the last slot, would this might be affecting it?

I use 3 monitors, all being BenQ's.

What other specs do you need?

Sorry new to this site and accidentally selected best solution when viewing from my email.

Also when installing the CPU cooler, I plugged my CPU fans into different ports and not into the CPU cooler port on my mobo. I just don't see why opening my computer case and fiddling with everything fixes the issue.

If you new cpu fan isn't plugged into your cpu fan port, your mobo may think you dont have a CPU fan, and thus won't do anything... to protect your CPU from killing itself (it would without a cpu fan)
And when your RAM should be plugged into matched color slots (assuming you have 2 sticks)
Uhh, have tried using it with only one monitor hooked up at a time?
I'm wondering if it's something to do with having all 3 plugged in.

And which was is your cpu cooler orientated? is it blowing air up and out or towards a rear fan?

have you flashed the BIOS to the latest version? I see some posts about there being some monitor quirks with your mobo.

Are you using nvidia surround or something to merge the monitors all into one resolution or something as well?
